The picture of the 15 is a group of bloggers who publish a picture according to a certain theme. All pictures are published every 15 of every month at noon, in Paris. This month, the theme was chosen by Marie and is “In the sky”. I have to admit that I don’t take many pictures of the sky itself so it was a little tricky to find a good picture. I chose a view of the Seattle’s sky with the Space Needle.

Christmas is at our doors! For something a little different, here are pictures of our dinner at a kaiten sushi or sushis on a conveyor belt. Japanese sushi are pretty different from the ones one can find in the US and in France. I think they are a lot more simple, each sushi one or two ingredients at the most. Click here to have a look at my best experience for sushi in Portland, OR! So at this place, you are served 3 kind of sauce to eat your sushis with: a dark soy sauce, a ponzu (lemony) sauce and a light soy sauce.

We went to Osaka last weekend to enjoy the last bite of Fall here in Japan. We went to the old Osaka-jo (Osaka castle), walked around and enjoyed the contrasting architecture of the castle and the contemporary architecture nearby. We also enjoyed the local specialty tacoyaki (octopus balls).

Minoo is a little town located 30 minutes north of Osaka. It’s one of the best place to see the leaves in the Kansai area. Unfortunately, we were a little bit to early. Last time, I went there in 2002 (my gosh 8 years ago already!), it was full of colors!
